USC Scholarship for Cardiovascular System Will Exclude National Accreditation

The accreditation organization found a lack of "substantial compliance" in three general areas of the cardiovascular disease research fellowship: the work of the program director, the professionalism and overall well-being of residents and professors, according to interviews and an administrator of the USC. Susan White, a spokeswoman for ACGME, said the finding could not be the subject of an appeal, adding that "this is a final decision".
